A few initial findings:

The chassis was only held in by a couple screws on the tuner. Was someone working on it ? I already know the CRT was been replaced.


* A 6FD7 was found in the 6DR7 socket and it was very loose. That's the vertical oscillator and output tube. The 6FD7 is a little beefier and should be a good sub.

I wonder if it got knocked loose and that caused the vertical to collapse ?


* One of the caps used in the B+ voltage doubler looks like it leaked and dried out. It will definitely get replaced ASAP. The fusistor looks corroded but haven't checked for continuity yet. Was glad to see one in place and not a hunk of wire shorting it out. Hoping that is there was a problem it did it's job and protected the set.


* Finally, the big, 4-section electrolytic can is loose but appears to be the original. There should be a clamp holding it down. Perhaps more evidence of a repair attempt.
